OSKAR UHL WORM, OF'KBERLIN, GERMANY.

TYPE CASTING AND SETTING MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OsKAR-UHLWORM, a

subject of the German Emperor, and a resi-,

dent at Nachodstrasse' 17, Berlin, Germany, have invented an Improved Type Casting and Setting Machine, of which the following is a full, clear, and complete specification.

The present invention has for its object atype-casting and setting machine, in which the separate types are cast with the aid of' suitable matrices and amold. The separate molds are situated on the edge of a rotating disk.

The present invention is more particularly characterized by the different molds being formed by slots, incisions, cuts or the like, provided at the edge of a disk which are able to be closed by a fixed side or wall. A disk of this kind. can be'pro'duce'd quickly and at small expense, because the'different breadths of the incisionscan besimply obtained, by milling the edge of the disk.

The molds of different breadths are prefer ably distributed in several forms over the entireperiphery of the disk, so that the same may be always rotated in one direction and the complete revolution of the disk is not necessary in order to pass from the one breadth to the other.

The matrix-stocks are carried by a special disk which is likewise set in continuous rotation. Now if the casting of any type is to be effected, the wheel carrying the matrix st'ocks remains stationary with the desired matrix over the place where the casting takes place, while the mold-disk is brought to a standstill at the position for casting with the. mold which is suitable for the same.

The axles of the matrix-stocks carry toothed wheels which engage in a common curved rack which is rotated during Tthe working of the machine, and which is controlled by key mechanism for example, so that different sorts of type vcan be set during the working of the machine.

A preferable mode of operation is as follows :The disk carrying the matrix-stocks tating by means of a frictionl'coupling until both disks are stopped by pressin a key with the desired matrix over a suitab e mold, whereon casting takes place, when the disks are again rotated after the key is released.

In the embodiment of the machine which is represented in the accompanying drawings a spring is extended when a key is depressed,

said spring being held stretched during the continuance of the casting of a type,.so that when" the keys are released the matrix-disk and the mold-disk are able to start running quickly, supported in thisby the force of the spring. I

In order that the invention may be clearly understood, reference is made to the accom-' panying drawings in which one embodiment is shown by way of example, and in which z- Figure 1 is a plan of the machine; Fig. 2 is a vertical elevation of the machine, partly in section and showing the key levers diagrammatically; Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the key locking mechanism and of the parts connected therewith, partly in section; Fig. 4. is a front elevation of the machine, after the removal of the key mechanism, partly in section; Fig. 5 is one of the locking disks which are employed for securing the mold disk and the disk carrying the matrix-stocks when a key is depressed; Fig. 6 shows the arrangement of t e matrix carrier in front and side elevation, partly in section; Fig. 7 shows the closing device for the mold in front elevation and in vertical section; Fig. 8 is an elevation of two of the keys, showing one in the position of rest and the other in the working position; Figs. 9 and lOshow elevations and sections of con huge for adjusting the reciprocal position 0 the wheel carrying the matrix-stocks with regard to that of the mold-disk; Fig. 11 shows a side and end elevation of a cam for pressing the matrix-stock; Figs. 12 and 13 are a plan and a part elevation respectively of the distributing device for the matrices; Fig. 14 is a vertical section through a closed mold with the slider pushed backwards; Fig. 15 is a plan of a part of the disks carrying the matrix-stocks and the mold-disk during the setting of a matrix; Fig. 16 is part of an elevation of'a row of matrices in connection with the new kind of wedging arrangement; Fig.- 17 is a -section on the line AB of Fig. 16; Fig. 18 is a perspective view of the two shapes of wedges which are employed; Fig. 19 is a" perspective view of some types in combination with .both wedges; Fig. 20 is a vertical section through a line which has been set up; Fig. 21 is a section'through the mold-disk at the place at which a wedge with lower extension piece can be cast; Fig. '22 is a similar section through another place in the mold-disk, in order to show the shape of the bolt for casting simple wedges without extension pieces;

A hollow shaft 2 (Fig. 2) rotates in the pedestal 1 (Fig. 1, 2,;and 3), said shaft 2 carrying the disk or wheel 3 which carries the matrix-stocks. This hollow shaft 2 has a solid shaft 4. passingthrough it, the latter of equal size ofithe main having a toothed-wheel 5 mounted on its upper end. I The matriXwheel 3 carries the matrix-stocks 7 by means of bolts or pins,6 (Figs. 2 and 6), said matriX-stocks being in and are correspondingly capable of bringing three different sorts of type into the working position.

Each matrix-stock is provided with toothing 8 for driving the same, which engages with its teeth in the common. toothed-wheel 5. By displacing the latter all the matrix stocks may be simultaneously rotated on tllGlI'fLXlfi'S. As the matrix-stocks have different sorts of type on their different sur faces, it is possible, in so far as a reciprocal displacement takes place between the the matrix-stocks, to set an optional sort of the three kinds of type in a simple manner, namely, this may be effected. during the working of the machine without interrupting the driving of the same. For this purpose on the lowenend. of the hollow shaft 2, and

arms are disengageably connected one with another by an elastic pin 11. The crankinto any one of'which the pin 11 provided on the crank-arm 10 can be inserted as desired. By retracting the pin 11 from the hole of the "the respective hole of the sector i'ng to "the hole which is used, Vol type is brought into the i i. ,11'; the drawing it is taken 15in isinengagement with the cen- A's' the release from and insertion i of thejthree holes l wheel carrying the matrix-stocks, thus during the .vorking of the machine, an alteration of the sort of type may be effected while the machine is running. A second hollow shaft 12 is arranged round and engaging the hollow shaft 2 on which shaft, 12 three locking disks 13 (Fig. 2, 3, 5) are fastened. The shaft 12 carries a bevel-wheel 14 at its lower, end, said wheel 14 engaging a bevel-Wheel 15 driving shaft 16.

The locking disks 13 are provided with detents or noses 17" (Fig. 5, 8) which, as is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 5, are each arranged separately in a special circle and each nose or stop 17 is adapted to engage the nose .or stop 18 on a certain key lever 135 when the latter is depressed as shown in the lower part of Fig. 8. With the aid of these stops 17 and 18, themachine may befstopped at a definite position of the matrix-disk and casting-disk, when one of the keys, which are providedin three groups separated one from another corresponding to the three disks, is depressed.

In the example illustrated, the matrixwheel possesses forty-eight matrix-stocks and consequently each locking-disk has 16 noses. The forty eight keys 19 are arranged in three groups, one over another, of sixteen keys in each grou The keys 19 fastened to the frame 20 ig. 2, 8) are held in their highest fposition in the usual manner by means 0 springs which are not represented. A rod '21 '(Figs. 13, 8) is situated under each group of keys, said rods being fastened in a frame 22. The latter is guidedm arms 23 (Fig.1) of the pedestal 1. The frame 22 is intended to control the operation of parts 58, 59, 60, '61, etcfhereinafter explained.

The casting-disk or mold-disk 24 has ninetysiX incisions or cuts 25 which. correspond to twelve different widths'of type arranged according to their breadth. Each out can be filled by a displaceable slide 26 (Fig. 2, 14, 15). All the slides 26 are surrounded by a ring 27, and each slide has a nose 28 against which a finger 29 (Fig. 2) presses, With'the help of which the slide can be pressed backwards when said finger is swung outwards. As it is necessary that the noses 18 of the keys hit the projections 17 of the locking or brake-disks before the frame 22 has con cluded its downward stroke the key-levers '135 are provided with joints 131 (Fig. 8). A

The bevel-wheel 32 with the'socket 33 rests in a bearing 34 of the carriage '35, and the socket 33 has two helical slots 36 (Figs. ,2, 9') situated one oppositethe other, in which pins 37 (Fig. 1'6)"0f a fork .38 engage. The socket 39 which carries theforkSSis aiiiallydisplaceablepontheshaft 16 and is driven .by

is made displaceable, or movable to or from thematriredisk, to enable either capital or lower case characters to be clear from the es-as hereinafter eXpla1ned. =The dis placement of the carriage 35 on the guide 41 of the foundation plate 42 maybe effected v, by hand with the aid of, a bell-crank lever 43 and a connecting rod '44. If the arm 43 and-the parts connected with it are also displaced to the left, whereas the socket 39 remains'stationary on account of the connecting-brir 45 which is fastened on the bearing 46. The socket 33 is, on the con'trary,mo ved along with. the carriage 35, and a rotation of the shaft is effected with regard to the I shaft 2 by means of the helical grooves36.

The transition from small to large lettersmay be effected by the above mentinmd l'zt ora isplacement of the m ld disk and byits relative rotation with regard to'the shaft 2.

Namely each of the prism surfaces of the matrix-stocks carries a small and large-character. Generally only the small characters situated next to'the edge come intoaction.

I But if the-above mentionedlateral displace-- ment of the mold-disk 24 and the parts be.-v

I I 'longing thereto is effected to the left by moving the lever 43, the'mold dis'k then approaches the-shaft 2so" that it comes into agreement as to: position with the large characters of the triX-stoc'ks. As other breadths of the cuts theme-ids come into consideration for the rge' characters, the mold disk is rotated as 1 x'mentioned; 'thelpurposeof which is that only to the hub of a"frietion disk 50. A second friction disk'49 is placed against this disk 50, the former earr ng a belt pulley 51, .52.

Both friction d mn rotate loosely on the shaft 16, w ereas the drum 47 is arranged fixed on said shaft.

$5 The loose pulley53 is situatedon the ex-- means of two keys 40 from the shaft 16. The carriage 35 with parts mounted thereon the oasting-disk are stopped by the. related locking disk 13 being held fast, the belt pulof the bell-crank lever is moved upwards, which may take placed'uring the working of the machine, the carriage 35 is moved to the left. I With th s carriage the entire mold-disk 59 and the lever 60..

the .cuts which are apted to large .characspring 77 I tended hub of the friction disk 50, said loose pulley 53 being held at its outside end by a nut 54. A spiral spring 55 is placed against this nut, the tension of which spring can be regulated by a'nut 56 situated on the screwed end of the main shaft. With an increasing tension of the spring 55, the friction be- .tween the two disks 49' and 50 also grows .The machine is driven. by a belt running over the belt pulley 52. If a key is depressed, the matrix-disk and after the release of the'key. The two surfaces of the coupling which rub one on another are preferably moistened with a liquid, foreX- ample water, in order to maintain the o0- efiicient of friction-of the coupling uniform.

A rod 57 (Fig. 2,' 3) carried by the frame 22 rests on one limb of a bell-crank lever 58,

the upper end ofthe latter being jointed to a drawbar 59. The other end of this rod 59 is connected with a pivoted lever 60, the free end of the latter engaging with a socket 61 on a shaft 62. When the frame 22 is moved downwards and when the bell-crank lever 58 is thereby oscillated, the shaft 62 is displaced to the f (Fig. N by means of the draw-bar The shaft 62 carries a toothed-wheel '63 at its one end, said wheel remaining constantly in engagement with. its

driving wheel 65 when the shaft 62 is dis placed.

A friction pulley 67 issituated on the shaft 66 of the toothed-wheel, 65, which pulley 67 is always maintained'rotating rapidly being driven from the belt pulley 51.

The other end of the shaft 66 carries'a bevel-wheel 69 which keeps a shaft 71 and the disk 72 con nected therewith in rotation through the bevel-wheel 7O. Said disk'72 is eccentric to the shaft 30 and moves in such a way in the interior ofthe mold-disk, that it con- .tinuously presses those slides 26 towards the outside of the mold disk at the point situated diametrically opposite to the casting point where such slides had previously been pushed inwards by the finger'29.

The interior end of the shaft 62 carries a cam 64 (Fig.'11) .which has a smooth face with a helical groove 73. A shaft 75 is journaled in" a fork 7 4 (Figs. 2, 4), which shaft is provided with an arm' 76. and carries a leaf- When the shaft 62 is dis laced to the left in the manner explained 'y depressmg akey, the groove 7 3 strikes against ''the. arm 76 and raises it into the position represented by full lines in Fig. 2, whereby a ressure-rod 78 is moved downwards by the eaf-spririg 77. The lower end of the rod 78 neously a tappet 26 backwards,

tinuously pumped by is cut out corresponding to the shape of the I matrix-stock 7, as is seen in Fig. 4.

In the downward motion of the rod 78, the same is laced on the concerned matrixstock an presses it and at the same time the entire matrix-wheel 3 firmly down on the suitable mold of the mold-disk. Simulta- 7 9 presses on the nose of the 'finger 29 and pushes the related slide whereby the mold is opened. A wedge-shaped piece 81 (Fig. 7, 14) is situated in front of the open side of the mold, said wedge being displaceable in the vertical I direction in the plate 82 and held as a rule by a spring 83 in the raised position. The plate 82 is pressed by a powerful spring 84 against the mold-disk. The wedges are necessary so that the molds can be bounded on all sides by plane parallel surfaces during the casting. When the rod 78 is pressed down wards the matrix-stock 7 is placed on the wedge 81 and presses the latter downwards, whereby it is pressed firmly against the open side of the mold under the tension of the spring 83. This mold is then closed in the manner as seen in Fig.7.

As soon as the leaf-spring 77 (Fig. 2) releases the'rod 7 8, the latter is pulled up by a spring 85. Another arm 86 with a set-screw 87 (Fig; 4) is on the rod 78, said set-screw acting on the one arm of a bell-crank lever 88, which is mounted revolubly in a bearing 89', when said rod 78 goes downwards. lower free end of the lever 88. .enga es in a slotted guide 90 of a Vertically movable slide 9]. which engages a piston. 93. The piston 93 can be moved up and down and slide up and down. This piston presses the quant1ty of liquid metal which is necessary for one cast into the mold during its downward motion. Normally this piston 93 remains at rest and is only pressed downwards whena mold is in position ready for castim when piston 93 is operated by the bell-cradk lever 88 in'the manner described.

A double tappet (Fig. 4) is fastened at the one end of a shaft 96, which tappet rocks with the shaft 96. The sh aft derives its motion from a disk-crank 97 with the aid of a connecting-rod 98. and a lever'99 jointedly connected with it. The disk crank 97 (Figs. 1 and 4) is toothed on its periphery and is driven by a tooth wheel on the same shaft with the bevel gear. The tappet 100 is oscillated all thetime, but does not come into direct contact with the piston 93, until the slide orwedge 91 is moved by the bell crank lever 88 between the tappet 100 and the piston 93, then thelatter will be forced down by the tappet. At each revolution of the diskcrank the left-hand part of the double tappet HIOSSGS down a piston 101 which is lifted continually by a spring or the like, which is not shown in the drawing. Liquid metal is conround the c The.

101 in circulation through the channels 104 and 105 (Fi 7) and as these channels surannel 106 connected with the mold, said channel 106 is thereby constantly maintained at the required temperature, and consequently, as soon as the piston 93 is depressed by the action of the wedge 91, the liquid metal brought by the piston to the place of casting has the, desired temperature.

A spring 102 is inserted between the shaft 96 and a set-screw 103, so that it isp'ossible to vary the osition of theshaft 96'by simply displacing the screw 103 and thereby to vary the speed with which the piston 101 pum s the liquid metal in circulation through the channels 104 and 105. In this manner the temperature of the channels connected with the place of casting may be regulated, be-

cause the temperature will be the higher, the quicker the liquid metal moves through the circulating channels 104 and 105.

The displacement of the Wedge 81 takes place, after the rod 78 has been depressed, at that point of time when the mold is closed on all sides, whereon the piston 93 I presses the required quantity of liquid metal 1nto the mold by means of the downward movement of the double tappet 100 which at the proper time engages t e iston 93 as above explained. has been previously depressed is released and is elevatedagain, the shaft 62 (Fig. 2) moves to the right, so thatthe rod 78 is free again and can rise. Also the piston 93 then moves upwards following the action of a spring. The driving pulley 52 then drives the shaft 16 again, so that the machine is at once set in motion again, the starting being aided by the extended sprin 48. The finished cast'type which has its h travels under a constantly rotating milling cutter 107 (Fig. 1) which dresses the face of the type the spindle of cutter 107 rest-s in a pedestal 108 and is kept in rapidrotati'on by means of arope-driven pulley. The separate types must now be pushed out of the mold-disk and laid aside or joined together for the matter. The types are ressed out of the mold-disk by the bolts 26 h ually pressed outwards by the eccentrically mounted disk 7 2 which is kept in continuous rotation, during the rotation of the molddisk. The types attain their outermost position at the point situated diametrically opposite to the place of casting.

Th'e assembling of the separate types in rows andtheir combination in separate lines situated 'one besidev another may take place in the following manner :-Acam 111 (Fig. 1, 12, 13) is kept rotating rapidly continuously byaro e-driven pulley 112. Below the latter is a ever.114,pivoted on a pin 113 and usually kept in the raised osition by means'of a spring 118 (Fig. 12 'A two- -means of this piston l armed lever 115 is fastened revolubly to this As soon as t e key which 95 ead at the'upper end now eing grad-- tel being capable of being braked by a lever 114, the lower arm of said lever 115,

which carries a foot 121 being pressed so far by a spring 116 towards the central point of the mold-disk as the type lying in front of it', or a stop 117 of the lever 114, allows. The types 119 are gradually pushed outwards during the rotation of the mold-disk by the bolts 26 and ress the foot 121 of the lever 115 backwarr s in such a way that its upper end cann t arrive in the sphere of action of the earn 111. The foot 121 is free only when a type 119 is pushed entirely outside, and as the spring 116 then swings the lever 115 in such a way that its upper end can be engaged by the quickly rotating cam 1 11, the foot 121 pi esses on the type and moves this into the composing channel when the lever 114 is moved downwards. .In this manner one type is placed beside the other until a lineis completely set up. The letters ,are support-- ed on the one side by a bar 122 which is held. fast in one direction by a friction-lever 123.

As the line continually grows in length the straight edge is gradually pressed backwards. The finished line is then pushed by means of the has been previously set, the supportin plate 126 moving backwards, the shaft 0ft e latclamping lever 127. The finished lines and the supporting plate 126 may be pushed backwards with the aid of a hand lever 128 revoluble round the pivot 129, saidlever 128 being jointedly connected at 130 withthe plate 124. l I

As is seen in Fi s. 16 and 19, double Wedges a and b are empl yed for justifying the lines,-

of which wedges the former press between the types from above downwards, andthe latter from below upwards. The two wedges together make up a rectangle. The wdg'es b have the shape which is particularly dis: tinctly visible in Figs. 18 and 19, and a lower extension or projection b. Both wedges a and b are produced in the mold-disk in the sequence in which they are employed. For. this purpose said disk 24 possesses bolts 26 (Figs. 21 and '22) with corresponding'inci-j sions. wedge 0., whereas the shape of the belt for casting the wedge b is shown in Fig.21. Fi 23 shows the front elevation correspond to Fig. 22, in which the exact position of the" bolts em loyed for casting the wedges a and 7) is visibl e.

Each line of type rests on a bar 1, just as in the case of the types, and the wedges a and l) are also pushed into the line of ty es after they are finished by the movement 0 the foot 121 (Fig.25) to and fro. But whereas the wedges a rest on the bars 1 just like the types, the wedges I) become placed with their projections b? resting on a special rail or rim m in such away that they can be displaced with a certain amount of play both upwards plate 124 to the line 125 which Fig. 22 shows the belt 26 for casting-3 d as well as downwards. The projecting edge of the wedges b is generally situated somewhat above the stick Z. If the rim m is lowered somewhat the wedges b then fall down. If, on the contrary, therim m is raised,'the wedgeshthen press the lines apart.

When a line is almost completely set up, a plate 1) and rod 1" are displaced in the manner shown Fig. 28, the displacement of the same causing a clapper to strike against a bells. In this manner a signal is obtained by which it is known that the line is almost finished. If the composer sees that he can not get any more new types on the line, he then lowers the rim or rail m, whereby the wedges b are lowered a little, and the whole line can be pressed somewhat together. In the same manner, by raising the rim m, the wedges are driven apart and consequently the lineof type is also extended. In this manner the'composer has it in his power to always effect a reliable justification of the line without diificultyr The separate sticks for supporting the types and the wedges a are arranged one over another in a channel, as may be seen in Figs; 26 and 29. The'stic-ks I rest on a rack Z, in the teeth of which a pawl Z engages, the latter being fastened to a frame F. A rod a is generally pressed downwards by springs a and is connected withits upper end-to a bellcrank lever 11, revoluble on the pivot a When a line of type is completely set up, a plate u is then pushed against the line, wherey the entire line of type is pressed one step 100 inwards in the composin -galley with the lines of typewhich have a ready been co nposed. Now when the plate a comes'again into its commencing position, the rod to effects a movement of the bell-crank lever a 105 by means of the pin a and overpow'ers the springs 11. whereby the pawl l raises'the. rack I one step. All'the sticks l are then likewise raised one step and the next upper rod then comes into that position in which a new line of type can be set onit. The lower edge of the projections b ofthe wedges l then rest on the plate m. By swinging the m which is pivoted at m upwards or wardsfithe plate m can be-raised someat or lowered somewhat, and conse-j I quently the wedges b of the entire 'line of type are either raised a certain desired amount and then drivethe lines apart, or

they fall down somewhat and consequently l 1 more room is then obtained in the line.

Whena suflicient number of lines is in the galley, as is supposed in Fig. 29, each line can be specially justified again. For this purpose a screwed spindle m isprovided in a frame which can be raised and lowered below the galley by a lever m The latter is on a shaft m and engages a two-armed lever m on said shaft m the lever m being connected. through links m with toggle-joints m By swinging the lever m the links and toggle-joints may be transposed from the position shown in full lines into the position represented in dotted lines, and thereby the frame, with the nut m which surrounds the I spindle m, and consequentlyalso the spindle correspondingly obli with a m itself, can be lowered. In the lowered position the nut m" together with a rail or rim which is connected therewith may be displaced parallel to the separate lines by turning the crank handle m and in' this manner they may be brought under the different projections b one after the other. If the rim m is situated underneath a line of.matrices, then the lever m is displaced in such a way that the frame and thereby the rim m is raised, which leads to the final justification of the line. j p

A complete justification of the line is not purposed by the plate m, but solely the. preparation for the justification of the line. an Ihe length of the stroke executed by the plate u for pushing onwards the line which has been set up is seen in 27. The full lines show the outermost position of the plate u and the dotted lines indicate the innermost position ofthe same. The side 9 of the galley which is situated opposite to the plate u is represented apart in perspective in igs. 30 and 31. Instead of employing two wedges a and 1), three wedges could be also provided in the manner which is shown in Ifig. 32; in that case two wedges a with oblique surfaces directed inwards would act in common with one wedge b which has two q ue lateral surfaces and which possesses a projection b. In this case also the wedge b would not generally rest on the stick Z, so that in this case slble to move the line together by lowering the wedge I) and to drive the line apart by raising said wedge. i
